Before you start

A blender or food processor will be very useful to make the meatball mixture.

Method

  1. Rinse and drain the lentils, put them in pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the lentils are very tender, about 20 min. Drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saucepan on medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, ginger and curry powder for 6-8 min, stirring from time to time. Set aside.
  3. Tip lentils, sunflower seeds and onion mixture into a food processor. Pulse a few times to mix the ingredients into a paste.
  4. Transfer the paste into a bowl and put in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours. Serve.

Observations

The paté can be kept in a closed container for a few days in the fridge.
